Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

I was furious about what happened earlier. I didn’t even know where Xander had come from or what he was thinking showing up there like that. I’d checked before going back to Olivia’s room, and everything was fine–she and Samuel were outside, playing by the pool. Then, out of nowhere, Xander appeared.

I’d run background checks on all of them, Ethan, Nick, and Marcus. They were all prominent businessmen. Ethan was a millionaire, while Nick and Marcus were billionaires practically on the same level of wealth. Olivia certainly knew how to choose them. From what I gathered, none of them worked with Luke. They just hung out with him because he was Olivia’s father.
